Tasks don't run in Python3

Specifically I’m running a simple email task in python 3.4 and the task doesn’t run. When I run the process_tasks management command it is just silent. This is even with --log-level=DEBUG.

The same tasks work fine with Python 2.7.

settings.py wasn’t changed except for the addition of background_task in the INSTALLED_APPS list.

I’ve reproduced this using the latest from PyPI (django-background-tasks==1.0.5).

I reduced the task to:

@background
def reindex(a, b):
    print('done')

This works in python 2 when running the process_tasks command. In python 3 it is silent. Num attempts isn’t increased.

I’ll create a django project from scratch in python 3 to see if I can reproduce in the simplest state.
